Doing masculine things is certainly fun, but maybe it's time to start bringing out your feminine side a bit too. Fortunately, it is possible to be feminine without necessarily abandoning your inner brat, choosing clothing capable of harmonizing the two souls that make up your personality. Try to indulge in "girlish" pastimes while remaining faithful to the "boyish" activities you know and love.
Steps
Part 1 of 2: Perfecting the Style
Step 1. Add a splash of feminine color to your look
If you like to wear sportswear classics like the matching loose-fitting t-shirt and sweatpants, you can introduce an element that brings a hint of femininity to your look by choosing bright or pastel colors. Try wearing a simple T-shirt with bright pink sleeves, or a pastel-colored shirt.
Choose a brightly colored jumpsuit or a pair of sneakers decorated with patterned patterns
Step 2. Choose a shirt with a feminine finish
Buttoned shirts are a classic for boys but if you choose them with some lace or embroidery, or with cute buttons, they can add a touch of grace to your look.
Put the shirt in your pants for a little bit more fitting style
Step 3. Try wearing an oversized T-shirt as if it were a minidress
Buy an extra large men's t-shirt and wear it as if it were a suit. It's a simple and a little naughty idea, but the minidress makes it all more feminine.
If you want it to be a little more fitted, combine the dress with a thin belt
Step 4. Match a pair of athletic shoes with women's clothing
Pairing a pair of converse or loafers with a skirt or a nice dress instantly lends a dynamic and informal character to an otherwise typically feminine look.
- Sneakers also look great when paired with a simple-style dress.
- The combination of a pair of loafers and a short skating skirt is another great solution.
Step 5. Add some feminine accessories to your usual sober and slightly androgynous look
Few accessories are able to soften the masculine traits of your appearance, giving you a particular charm without making you goofy. Bring a colorful headband, a nice piece of jewelry or a handbag.
- A gold ring or pair of earrings will give you an instant touch of femininity.
- Try sunglasses in the shape of cat's eyes, or with colored frames.
Step 6. Replace the skirt with the pants
If your classic style consists of a flannel shirt and shapeless jeans, swap the jeans for a simple black skirt. You will be more feminine, while retaining that masculine background.
- A skating skirt might be another great choice. They are essential and not too tight, as well as being available in an infinite number of colors and patterns.
- Try pairing the skirt with a super simple shirt.
Step 7. Go for a sober or disheveled look, but with the addition of some feminine accessories
Maybe you are used to wearing a ponytail or gathering your hair in a bun: know that they immediately become much more feminine with a few small touches. Just add a cute headband or hair clip! Also leave a few strands free, so that it frames your face.
Put on a cute hair band or a brightly colored rubber band
Step 8. Try a light makeup
If you want to be feminine, a light trick of makeup is ideal. A touch of blush and a swipe of mascara can go a long way. To remain faithful to the simplicity that characterizes you, do not go down hard.
- A tinted lip balm is probably more for you than a lipstick or lip gloss.
- A drizzle of brown mascara and a shimmery eyeshadow will be enough to make your eyes stand out.
- On YouTube you can find tons of natural makeup tutorials.
Part 2 of 2: Step into the Role
Step 1. Stay true to the typically male entertainment you are fond of
Maybe, during recess, you like to play soccer with the boys or challenge them in Call of Duty. Being feminine doesn't mean you have to give up all the activities you love. Indeed, to be sure that your inner brat continues to survive, you must continue to practice your traditional pastimes.
Step 2. Make friends with girls and boys
If you're a slightly masculine girl, you probably have a lot of male friends. However, if you want to express your feminine side as well, you also need to befriend girls who act like one. Don't worry: you don't have to leave any friends behind! You can continue to hang out with each other.
- Look around and try to spot any friends at school or when you go out. The more often you see them, the easier it is for a friendship to develop.
- Look for girls who are feminine and who, at the same time, share some of your interests. If you like animals, try to make friends with girls you share this passion with. The affection you feel for puppies can be something that unites you.
Step 3. Try to indulge in girlish hobbies
Even if you stick to the raids with your friends, try your hand at some girlish activities as well. Ask friends to take you shopping with them or to help you put polish on your nails. You may find that you find these pastimes just as fun!
Invite your friends to spend a wellness day at your home, or organize a marathon of romantic comedies
Step 4. Share your traditional hobbies with your friends
Do you like to play football or go fishing? Invite your friends to come with you. It will help you channel your masculine side, as well as give your friends a chance to get to know you better. And who knows… maybe they too will discover they have one!
Advice
- Be yourself. You don't have to change if you don't feel like it.
- Having a slightly androgynous look and manner can mean different things to people. There is no need to conform to any role or stereotype. Do what is congenial to you and that makes you feel good.
